Of course being a cat's paw of imperialism does not itself mean that leaders
are not
in another way genuine. Parvus, Lenin, Pilsudski, anc Connoly were all to
varying
degrees in league with the German Imperial High command. As early as 1915 Lenin
had reached an agreement that in return for assistance he would undertake on
comming to power to settle a separate peace treaty analogous to that that he
actually agreed on in Brest Litovsk. Although he was an agent of German
Imperialism,
it would be ridiculous to say he was just an agent of German Imperialism.
I think a dividing line is reached when a purportedly revolutionary movement
actually
relies upon the armed forces of an imperial power in their struggle with the
existing
rulers.
There is a difference between Lenin accepting assistance in getting to Russia
and
perhaps in funding propaganda, and for example Stephen Hayes collaboration on
Project Kathleen
a plan for an uprising in Ulster to be supported by German paratroop forces in
1940.
